how to install and run the simple code on MinGW through GCC for Pthread coding

Prerequisite: MinGW need to installed

Install GCC on MinGW : pacman -Syu gcc

After successful installation you will require to create the C file on notepad++ or in any of the file editor. Paste below mention code into the file and save it with .c extension.

Code: file name is hello.c


Compile and Run as follows

Linux: gcc -fopenmp -pthread hello.c && ./a.out

alternate way for linux

gcc -o hello -pthread hello.c

./hello

Windows MinGW: gcc -fopenmp -pthread hello.c && ./a.exe

Expected out put of the above code

Write a code to pass a simple integer to each thread and measure time taken by each thread with out and with pthread_join. The calling thread uses a unique data structure for each thread, insuring that each thread's argument remains intact throughout the program.

Solution: 1) with our pthread_join //Write a code to pass a simple integer to each thread. The calling thread uses a unique //data structure for each thread, insuring that each thread's argument remains intact //throughout the program. // we try to display the massages based on user's imput through scanf // we try to find the time taken by each thread #include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #define NUM_THREADS 8 // define total no of threds as global variable char *messages[NUM_THREADS]; // define the pointer globally to pass massage // pthread function void *PrintHello(void *threadid) { long taskid; sleep(1); taskid = (long) threadid; printf("Thread %d: %s\n", taskid, messages[taskid]); pthread_exit(NULL); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { clock_t tm1,tm2; double time_taken; pthread_t threads[NUM_THREADS]; // define pthread id long taskids[NUM_THREADS];        // define taskid int rc, t, NUM;...

write simple code to create pthread and execute the code

/* Simple Pthreads example. */ #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <pthread.h> void* ThreadFunc(void* arg); int main(int argc, char argv[]) { pthread_t idThread; puts("Let’s create a thread!"); pthread_create(&idThread, NULL, ThreadFunc, (void*) 5); pthread_join(idThread, NULL); } void* ThreadFunc(void* arg) { int i, n; /* Get the value of the argument passed in. */ n = (int) arg; /* Do stuff! */ for (i = 0; i < n; i++) printf("Loop %d: La la la!\n", i + 1); return NULL; } execute on teraminal gcc foo.c -o foo -Wall -lpthread ./foo   result Let’s create a thread! Loop 1: La la la! Loop 2: La la la! Loop 3: La la la! Loop 4: La la la! Loop 5: La la la!
